Li Shiyin studied alchemy for a few days and felt that alchemy was still too simple to match her genius image. So she asked Qin Ran to teach her array techniques. She persisted in learning array techniques for a bit longer... Of course, it wasn't because she had become more powerful, but because Qin Ran realized there might be problems with his teaching methods. He changed from pure theory to tearing the theory into pieces and teaching her by integrating it into everyday life. But even so, she still chose to give up after persisting for seven or eight days.
"Master, array techniques are still too simple. Let's practice swordplay!" Li Shiyin flipped the table and flew out of the research tower to the air above Sword Washing Lake. She drew her sword and said to Qin Ran.
Qin Ran followed her out to the corridor and looked at Li Shiyin floating in the air, shaking his head: "The master is not good at fighting."
"Master..." Li Shiyin stamped her feet in midair, insisting that Qin Ran spar with her.
Qin Ran suddenly saw Chasing the Wind on the cat tree by the lake and had an idea. He pointed at Chasing the Wind and said to Li Shiyin, "He can spar with you."
"Chasing the Wind?" Li Shiyin's face was filled with doubt. That silly tiger could actually spar with her?
And seeing the look of contempt on Li Shiyin's little face, Qin Ran knew this girl was about to be taught a lesson.
Let me emphasize again that Chasing the Wind is a level 7 Profound Underworld Spirit Tiger beast, and he's not an ordinary wild Profound Underworld Spirit Tiger either. He grew up eating Qin Ran's pills, listening to Qin Ran's cultivation lessons, experiencing Qin Ran's Three Nine Heavenly Tribulations, receiving the Wind of Life after the Devouring Demon Willow Tribulation, and according to Qin Ran's calculations, he was very likely to evolve into a level 8 beast.
So don't be fooled by Chasing the Wind's silliness, he is a real underage level 7 beast king, a true fierce beast.
"Chasing the Wind!" Qin Ran called out to Chasing the Wind on the cat tree.
"Huh?" Chasing the Wind stirred and blinked blankly at Qin Ran, not knowing what his dad was calling him for.
"Spar with her (beat her up)." Qin Ran pointed at Li Shiyin floating in the sky for Chasing the Wind.
Chasing the Wind lazily tilted his head and looked at Li Shiyin, then let out a big yawn, turning back to Qin Ran: "Huh?"
His big head was full of confusion.
He wanted him to beat up mother? What was that supposed to mean? Had father gone silly too?
"Look at him like this..." Li Shiyin shook her head disdainfully, "How does he look like he knows how to fight?"
Qin Ran said with an evil grin, "If you beat her, dad will roast meat for you to eat tonight."
"Hmm?" Meat?! Chasing the Wind was instantly spirited. He propped up his upper body, looked at Qin Ran and asked, "Really?"
"When has dad ever lied to you?" Qin Ran said.
It seemed like he hadn't. Chasing the Wind hurriedly got to his feet, shook the fur on his body, bared his four small...big tiger teeth at Li Shiyin with a silly grin.
Li Shiyin had picked up Chasing the Wind on a rainy day and raised him from a cub, so she had always treated Chasing the Wind as a real big cat. And she had indeed never seen Chasing the Wind get vicious before. In her memory, he had always been either a well-behaved cat puring in her arms or a silly cat following her around.
Could this guy actually fight? Li Shiyin shook her head, not believing it at all. She pondered whether she should switch to a wooden sword, lest she hurt this silly tiger.
But at that moment, Chasing the Wind's silly grinning expression suddenly changed. His aura instantly became fierce and aggressive. He opened his mouth wide...
"Roar!"
He let out a roar at Li Shiyin.
A tiger's roar that makes all beasts in the mountain forest submit!
This sound was like a substantial attack, hitting Li Shiyin's head like a stick, instantly knocking her unconscious.
Then a strong gust of wind blasted forth, a white shadow flashed from the cat tree, appearing before Li Shiyin in an instant. His tiger paw the size of a fan swatted down!
He had some conscience at least, not swatting at Li Shiyin's head, only aiming at her shoulders and back where her defenses were stronger.
"Bang!"
This slap was heavy, instantly shattering Li Shiyin's body protecting flying sword and shield. Her entire person was then slapped down, crashing into the lake!
"Boom..."
The lake surface splashed up ten-foot-high sprays of water.
Long Qiqi's whole body shuddered as she shook her head, "This silly tiger is the real deal!"
She had been doing experiments in the next room earlier and had snuck out to watch the lively scene after hearing the commotion outside.
Qin Ran glanced back at her but didn't scold her. He only said, "Recently, Shiyin's strength has been rising continuously and she hasn't properly lost in a while either, so she's grown arrogant. If I don't give her a good beating as a lesson, she'll develop inner demons."
Long Qiqi laughed. "Chasing the Wind is too silly. It's easy to forget that he's a level 7 beast."
The splashing lake water slowly fell back down, the ripples caused by the water droplets spread out in all directions, and the turbulent lake surface gradually calmed down.
At a certain moment...
"Boom!"
The lake surface suddenly erupted again, with countless sprays of water shooting towards the sky, all aimed at Chasing the Wind, but Li Shiyin's figure was nowhere to be seen amidst the water sprays.
These waterspouts all contained Li Shiyin's sword qi. Not daring to ignore them, Chasing the Wind raised his two front paws and threw a flurry of phantom punches to bat away the waterspouts.
But when he was batting away the waterspouts, Li Shiyin, who had been hiding in them, suddenly flashed out, stabbing a sword towards his waist.
Li Shiyin's movement technique was Seeking the Way Like an Immortal, an immortal technique that allowed her figure to appear and disappear erratically, making it hard for others to notice her.
At least Chasing the Wind didn't notice her until this sword had stabbed over, its sword qi shaving off some of his fur, before he reacted.
Then a tail like a steel whip lashed over Li Shiyin's head.
This was attacking Wei to rescue Zhao.
If Li Shiyin's stab went through, it would likely heavily injure Chasing the Wind, but Chasing the Wind's tail whip could cost Li Shiyin her life.
After weighing the options, Li Shiyin could only retract her sword to block the incoming tail.
She was then directly whipped away by the tail.
The physical body of a level 7 beast truly deserved to be described as terrifying.
Chasing the Wind batted away all the waterspouts containing sword qi, then went to look for Li Shiyin's figure, but couldn't find her either.
"Sigh..." Long Qiqi let out an envious sigh, "Both of them are extreme combat geniuses, able to find the other's weakness in an instant. Chasing the Wind's advantage lies in his great strength and fast attacks. Shiyin's advantage lies in her agile movement technique and high damage output. Shiyin can take the opportunity to attack relying on her movement technique. Chasing the Wind can then not move like a mountain and defeat her strongly with one move."
"You're not bad either." Qin Ran appraised. Being able to see their attacking and defending capabilities was already quite good.
Long Qiqi was rendered speechless for a moment, not knowing whether she should feel happy about the praise.
"This little guy Chasing the Wind is quite nasty..." Qin Ran suddenly laughed, "Look at his tail."
Long Qiqi looked closely but didn't notice anything off: "What's wrong with his tail?"
"It's a bit shorter..."
Li Shiyin kept appearing out of thin air, sending waves of sword qi at Chasing the Wind. But Chasing the Wind, treading on the wind with his catty punches waving fiercely, either evaded or neutralized all of Li Shiyin's attacks.
And when Li Shiyin appeared again to attack, he suddenly let out a roar to daze her soul once more. Then several cold gleaming claws suddenly protruded out of his big paw swiping towards Li Shiyin.
If this claw swipe connected, Li Shiyin would at least be disemboweled.
But how could Li Shiyin fall for the same trick twice?
She had been on guard against Chasing the Wind's soul-shaking roar all along. When his paw came swatting down, she disappeared abruptly again, the starlight on her body surging wildly as she cursed loudly:
"Stinky tiger! You want more?!"
Then a thick pillar of purple sword qi blasted from the ground to the sky before flipping over and hacking down towards Chasing the Wind.
"Aoowuu..." Chasing the Wind let out a weird yelp as he didn't dare mess around. He spread open his hind paws and fled at full speed.
Li Shiyin's sword hack fully deserved its name of washing the sword lake. The surging sword qi cleaved the lake into two halves as it crashed down, exposing the lake bottom's color.
The lake water parted and converged again, the splashing sprays turning the entire Dan Peak into rain. In the rain, Li Shiyin held up her sword panting heavily as she shouted, "I won!"
"Shameless!" Qin Ran flew out from the research tower to stand by Chasing the Wind's side and asked Li Shiyin, "You can keep up with Chasing the Wind relying on your movement technique, but how much longer can you keep up that movement technique?"
Li Shiyin sheathed her sword and lowered her head without speaking.
That last sword strike had exhausted all of her last bit of spiritual power.
"Also..." Qin Ran pointed at Li Shiyin's shoulders, "Look at what's on your shoulders."
Li Shiyin turned her head to look, only to find that there was still a miniature black Chasing the Wind squatting on her shoulder. Seeing her look over, this Chasing the Wind let out a "meow" and then ran back onto the tip of its own tail.
"When did this happen?" She was greatly shocked, because she had not noticed at all.
"When you came out of the lake, that split body had been hiding in your shadow the whole time," Qin Ran shook his head. "So your every move was under Chasing the Wind's control. Then think again, if the slap from Chasing the Wind earlier had hit your head instead, would you still have had any fighting capability?"
Li Shiyin felt defeated inside. She looked at Chasing the Wind. At this time Chasing the Wind was squatting next to Qin Ran, licking his paws, having reverted back to his silly self, Daddy's good boy again.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She flew over and gave Chasing the Wind a heavy kick, then flew back to the little wooden house.
Chasing the Wind felt wronged. He said to Qin Ran: "Daddy?"
"There will be barbecue for dinner tonight," Qin Ran said with a smile, stroking his big head.
"Roar..." Chasing the Wind let out a happy loud roar.

ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
